TM8571 Autumn’s Lilies 24×48 oil on panel

Painting a lily in autumn is a totally different experience compared to painting a summer lily. Suddenly, the surrounding colors are full of energy. Bright coral, golden yellows, orange – like a festival. Knowing that this last burst of energy will soon disappear also brings a feeling of poignancy to the joy of splashing those great colors on the panel. I’ll immerse myself in the color while it lasts, then enjoy the subdued violets, grays, and rusty tones of November.  For now, party on! Details below, and do you see my fishy friends?
